Joplin fire chief rejects Florida position

Joplin Fire Chief Gary Trulson turned down an offer to become fire chief with the South Walton Fire District in Santa Rosa Beach, Fla., according to an article in today's Walton Sun:

After the first candidate, Reedy Creek Fire District fire chief Ray Colburn said, "no thanks"; candidate number two, Gary Trulson, won't be coming to South Walton either.
South Walton Fire District Fire Board Chairman Maurice Gilbert said after unsuccessful discussions with Joplin, Mo., fire chief Trulson, the district will head in a new direction.

Gary Trulson ---- Is not your person for a job as Fire Chief. He is uncaring and only out for himself. Do your back ground checks for the truth, make sure you ask how much time he has really worked within fire departments and how he got where he is today. Since Gary Trulson has taken the Fire Chiefs job in Joplin Missouri a very large number of the department’s member have quit or retired to get away from him. If you could contact some of these people you might find out just how Gary Trulson really is. No reason to say more
